This simple code won't change the torso's CFrame, why?
So, I'm trying to change a torso's CFrame if a value in the character equals 1. I made a separate DataStore that saves the value, and it works just fine, this CFrame thing is the only problem. I got no errors in Studio and when I checked the dev console there were still no errors.
Here's the code I used: LOCAL SCRIPT
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 |
03 | if player.JAILED.Value == 1 then |
04 | game.ReplicatedStorage.JailedPersonEvent:FireServer() |
05 | end |
06 |
07 | player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() |
08 | if player.JAILED.Value == 1 then |
09 | game.ReplicatedStorage.JailedPersonEvent:FireServer() |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
SERVER SCRIPT
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage.JailedPersonEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) |
2 | local character = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Character) |
3 |
4 | character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(1717.323, 226.31, -1283.756) |
5 |
6 | end) |
Any reason why???

On line 2 of your server script, you said:
local character = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Character)
There's no point in saying that because if player.Character didn't load, then you are searching for nil.
Replace it with:
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Hope this helps :)

Line 2 would error if a player named Part joined the game LOL User#19524 175 — 6y
